I think the weight reduction is placebo as much as anything and guys just feel they are swinging a quicker bat. I believe I saw that on avg the torpedos are 2 oz lighter than an equivalent traditional bat. Of course there's no free lunch here so if your bat speed isn't up the force equivalent of those couple oz and HR are turning into warning track shots players will go back to what they know.

We had the "torpedo" bats back in the 90s, Easton had one. Was supposed to be a training aid to get the barrel through the zone quicker iirc. This is 90% media hype from the NYC market imo. Maybe the bats are slightly better but we're not talking much advantage imo. Some players will not like how they feel I'd imagine and the fad will stall.

You're not wrong but anything is better than JR.

Well to this point Wolkow hasn't stopped hitting. Easy to root for a guy that just rakes.

You just gotta flush it.

You can John isn't having any fun and his voice, at least imo, sounds rough in the latter parts of these games. Stone is just going through the motions as well he's not even trying. It's a bad broadcast all around although the new eye candy they brought in at least provides some visual relief.

Skubal off to a bit of a slow start this year.

baldwin and sosa are keepers.

I'm just done with Robert. Tired of his approach at the plate.

Yea but have you seen his bench press?

Back to reality.

Think he just watched some White Sox baseball to be fair.

Holy s%*# that sounded awful.

that didn't take long.

Big crowd on hand.

apparently game has started and we're down a run.

That sounds...uncertain.

I'd hate to see a great city like Chicago lose a stadium to the burbs.

Just reschedule it damn.

I'm so tired of this crap with the managers. FIGURE IT OUT GETZ

Sox snow globe is not something I had on the bingo card.

Latest update on Sox twitter says they are going to start with a delay. Good luck.

It was obvious he was dismissing the account by his tone. People can try and excuse it any way they want but he has once again stepped in dog crap that any half decent broadcaster would avoid.
